Entertainment profile Jonas "Heavy" Stentäpp dead

Jonas Stentäpp was a driving force in the punk bands Dökött and Mimikry and worked for many years as an entertainment journalist at Dala-Demokraten.

He was passionate about folk race and was involved as editor-in-chief on the site Folkracepuls.

Suffered from cancer

In June, Jonas Stentäpp announced that he had suffered from lung cancer. Today, relatives write on his Facebook page:

"It is with the greatest bottomless sadness that I write that yesterday the love of my life and everyone's beloved Heavy fell asleep peacefully after a rapid and severe deterioration of his lung cancer.

There were many of us around him at the hospital yesterday and he got to spend everything except the last few hours at home in his safety with me.

It is unimaginable that the most cheerful person I have ever met is no longer with us, that my and our children's greatest security in life will never say "I love you most of all, never forget that" again."

Jonas Stentäpp turned 50.
